Like a good dad, Flavor Flav is defending his daughter after she was arrested over the weekend when a family dispute turned violent.

19-year-old Dazayna Drayton was taken into custody when she allegedly punched her father during an altercation she was having with her step-brother. When Flav tried to stop the fight, that's when she apparently clocked him.

The police were called, but Flav says he tried to stop them from taking her in. Because Nevada law requires that police arrest anyone who's been accused of striking a family member, they had to take her in handcuffs.

Flavor Flav's 19-year-old daughter Dazayna was arrested over the weekend after a family dispute turned violent.

Cops were called to Flav's Las Vegas home when a domestic violence call came in.

Dazayna had reportedly got into an argument with one of Flav's step-stons and when the fight became physical, Flave stepped in to break it up. Instead of helping, he ended up getting clocked by his own daughter.

Ouch.

When police arrived, they arrested Dazayna for misdemeanor battery.

No word yet on whether or not the punch to Flav was intentional. Let's hope it wasn't.

Hopefully we'll find out more when she goes before a judge today. In the meantime, she's still behind bars.

Harsh.

We're sure that no parents wants to turn in their own kid, no matter how bad the situation is.
